The sky is dark The wind is cold The night is young Before it´s old and grey We will know The trill of it all The time has come It´s getting late It´s now or never Don´t hesitate or stall When I call Don´t spoil The thrill of it all And before you go to sleep at night Preying shadows - do they ask you why? And in the morning through the afternoon Do you wonder where you´re going to? Every word I use Each crumpled page Strange ideas Mature with age Like leaves When autumn falls Turn gold Then they hit the ground Every time I hear The latest sound It´s pure whiskey Reeling round and around My brain Oh and all o´ that jive It´s driving me wild - The dizzy spin I´m in Everywhere I look I see your face I hear your name It´s all over the place Hey girl Though you´ve gone Still I recall The trill of it all You might as well know what is right for you And make the most of what you like to do For all the pleasure that´s surrounding you Should compensate for all you´re going through So if you´re feeling fraught With mental strain Too much thinking´s got you down again Well let your senses skip Stay hip Keep cool To the thrill of it all When you try too much You lose control Pressure rises And so I´m told Something's got the give Oy Veh High life ecstasy You might as well live I can´t see I can´t speak I couldn't take more than another week Without you - oh no So I will drink my fill Till the trill is you Oh the thrill of it all Oh the thrill of it all No I won´t forget The thrill of it all No no no no no no no....
You might remember How it used to be 3 and 9 could show you Any fantasy Parti-coloured pictures Now and then 3D No cheap nostalgia Conjured up by me Back to the old days Close to home Show me some new ways I´ll carry on Whether making out or played out Three and nine make twelve I´ve a dozen reasons Lying on the shelf B feature back rows Filed away No point pretending Change is here to stay 3 and 9 to 45 Decimal romance If you´ve warmed to centigrade You stand a sporting chance I´m not so special You´re a misfit too Why must they interfere In everything we do? Should we play safe now Or go all the way? Six and two threes now More I cannot say
Somebody told me Just the other day That you´re leaving me We´re through Well if you knew How it hurt me so Then you´d change your mind I´m sure Don´t want to hear What´s going on I don´t care What´s new Don´t want to know About anything 'Cause all I want Is you Going out with other girls Was always such a bore But since I fell in love with you I need you more and more Don´t want to know About one-night-stands Cut-price souvenirs All I want is The real thing And a night that lasts For years. If you ever change your mind I´ve a certain cure An old refrain, it lingers on L´amour, toujours l´amour... Don´t want to learn About etiquette From glossy magazines Why should I try To talk correct Like they do In another scenes Say no more About imagery You´re starting to confuse Just make an offer Of more romance Of course I can´t refuse All I want is you Oo oo I´m all cracked up on you.
All you cares Now they seem Oh so far away All your fears I fear I once shared Now I know There´s a future For all of us Not so long ago I was so scared You seemed so sad I could see Through your twisted smile So unsure Always confused Pale blue eyes Gazing down From your ivory tower Through the haze All broken and bruised Then: out of the blue Love came rushing in Out of the sky Came the sun Out of left field Came a lucky day Out of the blue No more pain I don´t mind If it´s only A passing craze Throwaway lines Often ring true If I were you I would stay For a little while I you were me Would you walk out In style?
Oh here it comes again That old ennui I hope it won´t stay long Well it´s every-man to his own thing And every singer to his song If you´re feeling low And all upset Nothing's going right You just make a wish Like in a fairy tale And I´ll bewitch you If it takes all night There are many things That I could say To try and comfort you But I know the words you´d like to hear Are simply "I love you" Sometimes I´m up Sometimes I´m down A topsy-turvy life But only searching For the truth And I´ll find it If it takes all night long Well I myself May main concern Is what I can afford So if music be my mistress Then at least she´s Madame Claude...d´accord Ah - more champagne! To lose this pain Would be very nice So I´ll help myself to one more drink And I´ll find myself If it takes all night long
Well this is such A sad affair I´ve opened up my heart So many times But now it´s closed Oh my dear Every salted tear It wrings Bitter - sweet applause But when the show´s in full swing Every once in a while High stepping chorus lines Mean I´m forgetting Mein lullaby - liebchen How rich in contrast Love can be Sometimes I´m quite amused To see it twist and turn To taste - both sweet and dry These vintage years! Lovers you consume, my friend As others their wine Nein - das ist nicht Das ende der welt Gestrandet an leben und kunst Und das spiel geht weiter Wie man weiss Noch viele schönste...wiedershen And now, as you turn to leave You try to force a smile - As if to compensate - Then you break down and cry
Here the soil is barren Here - nothing grows But crosses They - know not what they do You - your forgiveness Falls as dew Nailed upon a wooden frame Twisted yet unbroken Open mounted a silent choir Understood, unspoken Never was there heard a sound Until the heavens opened Now the tide is turning To other-wordly yearning Through the sun´s eclipse seems final Surely he will rise again
You - the hero So many times You've loved And didn't linger Now my finger Points at you - Another loser You - an island On your own Complete In every detail Monumental A precious jewel Or just a fool Innovator It's in your mind And blood I watch it simmer I see you're courting More despair No hope' Not a glimmer Now you're nothing But second hand In glove With second rate now Now you're flirting With heroin - Or is it cocaine' Casanova - Is that your name Or do you live there' I know my place Is here with you Tonight But not together
You´re heard enough Of the blues and stuff You´re pretty swell now ´Cause you´re pretty tough But I don´t have to tell you How hard it can be to get by You never bothered About anyone else You´re well educated With no common sense But love - that´s one thing You really need to get by All your troubles Come from yourself Nobody hurts you - They don´t care Just as long as you show them A really good time All the things You used to do A trip to the movies A drink or two They don´t satisfy you They don´t tell you anything new You know I don´t talk much Except to myself ´Cause I´ve not much to say And there´s nobody else Who´s ready and willing And able to know me - I guess Listen to me I´m not finished yet There´s something to tell you That I can´t forget Just have a really good time There´s a girl I used to know Her face is her fortune She´s got a heart of gold She never goes out much But boy - when she does Then you know She´s got no money Well, maybe a dime But she knows what she´s worth And that´s reason why She´s gonna make it She´s got what it takes You´ll appreciate that She´s probably late But I know And you know We all know She´ll have a really good time
Texas That´s where I Belong It seems to me Texas Lonesome star Shine on The big country Texas With open skies And you For company Texas Oh prairie rose How happy I should be Hey hey You can take it from me Hey hey I´ll be coming, you´ll see Hey hey Oh what a state to be in Hey hey You´re tantalising me Texas I will compose In fancy rhyme Or just plain prose Texas A song of praise to you Prairie rose Texas Though I´m not sure I can explain Your strange allure Texas Prairie rose - A crown of thorns A scented flower Hey hey I´d better leave right away Hey hey I can hear you calling me Prairie rose
T´ain´t no big thing To wait for the bell to ring T´ain´t no big thing The toll of the bell Aggravated - spare for days I troll downtown the red light place Jump up bubble up - what´s in store Love is the drug and I need to score Showing out, showing out, hit and run Boy meets girl where beat goes on Stitched up tight, can´t shake free Love is the drug, got a hook on me Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I´m thinking of Oh oh can´t you see Love is the drug for me Late that night I park my car Stake my place in the singles bar Face to face, toe to toe Heart to heart as we hit the floor Lumber up, limbo down The locked embrace, the stumble round I say go, she say yes Dim the lights, you can guess the rest Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I´m thinking of Oh oh can´t you see Love is the drug, got a hook in me Oh oh catch that buzz Love is the drug I´m thinking of Oh oh can´t you see Love is the drug for me
Surely you cannot be leading me on? Well if that's so, however can I love again? How could I believe again? How can I hold on? Sentimental fool Knowing that fate is cruel, You ought to forget it. Yes, I know it's true, I've seen what love can do, But I don't regret it. Oh, you silly thing-- Don't you see what's happening? You're better without it. No, that's not the case-- If you were in my place, You never would doubt it. Sentimental fool Who broke the golden rule, You couldn't resist it. Though it's all in vain, I'd do it all again Just to relive a minute. A woman in love Can make you feel good-- You know what you're living for. She'll give you so much And keep you in touch With all that's worth living for. Oh once she gets in Through thick and through thin She'll show you what living's for. The rhythm of love It must go on Can't stop. The beat of your heart Is like a drum Will it stop?
Do you know what it means to me To delight in your company? Could it happen to me?
Do you know what I쨈m certain of? I would love to fall in love Could it happened to me?
Hey - won쨈t you look at me? Now I??m cracked wide open - I can??t conceal My all over trembling - I??m acting strange And while you??re out of reach, I never change
God knows - I??m beside myself If a tear??s a crime, then I must confess My guilty secret - I??m not ashamed Take me as I am - an average man
Oh boy, is it getting rough When my old world charm isn??t quite enough? I throw you cantos - I jazz ??em up but when I lay me down - you don??t pick up
Once more it??s a crying shame Only this time no-one but myself to blame All I touch turns to dust It??s right there in my cards - I ought to cut
Let us sing of the tortured heart And the lonely soul in this world apart As he plays a field - takes a little pain then move our separate ways again
Is it easy to say ??I do?? At this moment, 'I love you' Seems beyond me, it??s true
Now that evening is closing in Should I light that fire again? Could it happen to me? Did it happen to you?
Please don't ever let me down 'Cause you know I'm not so sure Do I have the speed to carry on Burn you out of my mind, I know You're a flame that never fades Jungle red´s a deadly shade Both ends burning, will the fires keep Somewhere deep in my soul tonight Both ends burning Burning Burn Now my course is plain as day Running bold across to play Both ends burning with a strange desire That feeds the fire in my soul tonight I will dance the night away Living only for today Both ends burning while you're counting sheep Hell-- who can sleep in this heat this night? Tell me will I ever learn? It's too late, the rush is on Both ends burning and I can't control The fires raging in my soul tonight Oh will it never end? Put your foot around the bend Drive me crazy to an early grave Tell me what is there to save tonight Both ends burning Burning Burn Keep on burning till the end, until the end Keep on burning till the end, the very end
Before the morning comes, will I hear your song Come little nightingale, I won't be here for long When you're up there flying, do you care If there's no one else around? When your lover leaves you in the air Do you waver, do you fall? Now while the moon is high Shall we, nightingale, Duet all through the night A pair of souls for sale Stars cluster glistening Captive till the dawn Patiently listening They've heard it all before Should I stay here or should I go? I couldn't bear to be alone Was it really love I saw? Oh, now I'll never know What is this I hear? I recognise that song Sweet little nightingale I knew you'd come along Soon when the morning comes. We will both be gone So sing pretty nightingale Lead, I'll follow on.
Maybe your heart is aching I wouldn??t know now would I? Maybe your spirit??s breaking up I shouldn??t care now should I? Maybe you??re thinking of me Well I don쨈t know do I? If you only knew how I feel - oh Wish I could die now don쨈t I?
I쨈m just another crazy guy playing at love was another high Just another high
Couldn??t believe in my eyes You drifted into my life But marriages made in heaven Can they survive in this life? Surely it came as no surprise Love was too hot to handle? Well I really blew my cool, and you, you just blew out the candle...
Didn??t you just try just another high? Didn??t you sign as you waved goodbye - 'just another high?
I??m just another crazy guy playing with love was another high such a crazy high
Lately it seems so empty here But I suppose I??m alright Maybe tomorrow??s not so clear Still I remember that night Singing to you like this is my only way to reach you and though I쨈m too proud to say it oh how I long too see you Shattered my dreams by your goodbye shattered my hopes - they fill the sky Desolate am I
I'm just another crazy guy playing at love was another high just another high
just another high just another high such a crazy high
Maybe I should start anew and maybe I'll find someone who will maybe love me like I love you but maybe I쨈m too stuck on you yes maybe I got stuck on you maybe I got stuck on you
